Guild Wars 2

I have been gone for quite a bit of time. Since coming back to gw2 I have been enjoying my time playing; however, an issue I have been facing is pvp. Pvp, as the best way i can put it, feels dull. I have been having issues with finding the role that a thief can fill. It seems to lack in keeping up with most class’ dueling potential, support even with poison, and lock down of points . If you could provide some help I would be most grateful.

Thank you for your time!

Hey, Just wondering if this trait can be controlled in the terms of what type of skills are recharged from stealing rather than a chance at the one type of skill it recharged?

Bazooka.3590:

Every thiefs use this trait. The best condition removal in the game and its only in adept tier. Broken.
Very unbalanced. Its making the thiefs immortal for the most condi builds.

10 seconds interval is insane but i think this skill should move to higher tiers.
For example:
5secs interval and master tier or 3secs interval grandmaster tier.

Oh please don’t take away our main way to remove conditions pretty much so squishy even with this I do take a fair amount of conditional damage and if this was increased by a few seconds long live the thief class in only memories.

Thanks for the respect playing a thief is becoming harder and harder as more people keep QQ and nerfing our class I’m sure many thieves can relate of how hard it is to play a thief now and days with spamming aoes and CC on our class. I really have started to play PvP now because of the fact in WvW it is ridiculous of the amount of spamming of aoes and declining DPs and how other class melt of conditional damage such as guardians that the thieves deal out now.

As a thief you really have to be careful and choice your battles wisely taking out a guardian with a condition build is just no go they just melt of the conditions. As for the DPs burst type well you have got to pick them off one at a time which is really hard and a lag or a knockback, fear, stun and it is all over. Most of the time I get my kills from running basilisk venom getting the stun and finishing them off as quick as possible (1V1). . If not well so out of luck and I die or have to run away and wait for hp regen from stealth.As for stealth well all it takes is a few aoe conditions and boom thief is done or if thief low hp just a few random swings and a little bit of luck and thief is done just look for those hit markers and such. I personally ran a D\P build but with the nerf to heartseeker which I did agree with and some of the initiative reduction it doesn’t work out to well. So I really think that some nice buffs or increase of something is in need of the thief class. Maybe I’m just QQ but when another awesome thief build is found everyone will complain and QQ about it.
